Ok, so I googled a tut for how to change the site description/tags/title for google. I used what I found but, after a month, there is no change. If you could give me a hand with this that would be great! Also, it is for a MyBB forum.

    Use your keywords in title tag and description tag as well. Keep your meta description limited to 160-170 chars because this is what is visible in serps.

    This is all what I could write for you as per your query. Be specific and precise in what help you are asking for.

        Meta tags are HTML components, not PHP. In PHP framework, the meta tags are entered from admin side. Otherwise it is written manually.

        The get_meta_tags function in php reads a HTML document and extracts meta tags out of them for you and returns an array. This function isn't responsible for setting meta tags for you. You have to write them manually in HTML.

        array get_meta_tags ( string $filename [, bool $use_include_path = false ] )

        This function parses the file named filename and parses it line-by-line to get meta tags from the file. The parsing ends at </head>.

        <head>
        <meta name="keywords" content="keyword1, keyword2,....">
        <meta name="description" content="A small description of 160-165 characters containing keywords.">
        </head>

        The above code is used to set meta tags for your website.
